  I feel like there might be a ton of weird edge cases where people still need 32 bit libraries. Steam is just scratching the surface here. The first steps should always be a setues of public announcements and discussions followed by a testing period where the packages get moved to a repo which is disabled by default.

  It’s interesting that Steam still uses 32-bit. Why? Backward compatibility?

      So we can translate Windows API calls to Linux but we can’t do the same from 32 to 64 🤔
